We were about to go out one afternoon and wanted to snap a photo of Gillian in her new outfit. We charged around looking for a suitable place, then, once we decided on our favourite arm-chair, the search began for the camera. Before we knew it, she had semi-dozed off.

A long time ago, I threw a party to celebrate my 35th birthday. This was back in the days when I still threw parties. This was before I met my wife and still had much to prove.
Anyway, friends came via the usual modes of transport - cars, motorbikes, etc - and parked in the courtyard in front. My nieces, concerned with the safety of our Tiger and Casper, wrote dozens of notes (similar to the one above) and attached them to each of the parked vehicles.
How cool is that?

dogs are considered training for having children. ... This will prepare them for responsibility by having another creature to feed, supervise it’s bathroom activities, and to love.

The arrival of children will not result in said canine's displacement. The dog "remains as the most important member of the household" because "white children will eventually hate their parents, but dogs will love anyone who feeds them".
